The food was so good I almost didn't believe it was vegan and gluten free!

Very busy! Hardly any available seats. We sat at the bar and ordered take out. They offer gluten free options! Easily marked on their menu. They were doing trivia night was neat to watch although we weren’t apart of it. Bartender/server was quick to take care of us. Always a plus when they are at the top of there game. They have a really pretty wall of flowers when you walk out the back door. They have a ton of televisions on the walls if you’re a sports person. Parking is paid plenty of spots. Sundays are free by the way. There’s a parking garage right by them if they happen to be so busy you’re not able to find a parking spot closer to them. The parking garage really is not that far of a walk. Great experience!

I loved dining at Pop's! I am gluten free and dairy free, so wasn't sure if there was much I could eat here. I emailed ahead of time to check, and the executive chef took the time to write back with what menu items I could eat and included any modifications that would be needed. Even offered to come to my table personally to answer any questions, which I thought was super kind. When I did dine in, my dish accidentally came out with cheese on it. The staff were apologetic and quick to make me a new dish. Everyone makes mistakes and the way they handled it was perfect. I will definitely be back!

Anita’s Kitchen has been a favorite gluten free restaurant. Today, however, i had an unsettling experience. Kevin, a new waiter, decided he was too overwhelmed to be my server. He ignored us went to a different table and took their order. I politely asked if he was our server, because he was taking care of every other table in the section, except for ours, he said he was not! I had to request a manger to take our order, the manager was great. He was kind and professional. If it were not for the manager, I would have walked out. Kevin, you missed out on a 30% tip

As it should be.. the staff and owners were consistently hospitable, accommodating and nice to us no matter how many times we asked for things and asked questions. By default you eat the Ethiopian way with your hands using the injera bread and there’s an option for a gluten free teff bread as well. A courtesy hot towels service is provided to better clean your hands before and after eating. You can get yourself a separate plate and silverware only by request. We requested plates, silverware and serving spoons bc we were a group of 8 and it just made us more comfortable to eat off our own plates with our hands, bread and/or forks. I’ve never tried the meat dishes here before but others in the restaurant seem to enjoy it. I have been a couple of times for the plant based vegan feast and it’s absolutely delicious!! You get 7 different authentic Ethiopian cooked vegetables and you can add on the fresh salad. It’s all you can eat and they’ll keep bringing more of whatever you like. The price is right, where else are you going to have all you can eat, seven different dishes all for around $25?! They also have delicious dairy free sorbet in different flavors. The atmosphere is colorful and cozy, feels like you’re in another country. I would highly recommend this place to vegans and meat eaters.

You need to come to Coeur! Few girl friends and I popped in here on an unexpected gorgeous day. We were looking for a patio and they have a spacious one out back. I have a gluten allergy and our server (Kimberly) was extremely knowledgeable, brought me a menu with all the GF options highlighted and was able to make substitutions to accommodate my needs. We shared the muscles, octopus and olives, everything was delicious. The drinks were fantastic and loved that they use as much of each ingredient as possible in order to reduce food waste. What was supposed to be a typical happy hour with friends turned into a really spectacular meal.

My sister and I went out for drinks last night and had an amazing time. Our server Shane provided excellent service. They took the extra time along with the bartender to double check that the ingredients of a caesar salad type cocktail (forget the name but was unique and delish!) did not contain gluten. As someone with celiac, this was exceptional service and really showed they cared. Will come back again soon!!
